Says I have 12,000 words in my doc when I've got over 44,000...not sure how it can be so wrong when the correct word count sits hiding in the tools taskbar... | |

Not very functional. Count is completely off. It claims my document is exactly a thousand words shorter than it actually is. Have checked the document in google docs and exported it to a .doc file to check it in Word, and they both say 17,020 where this says its 16,020. What's more, I can't see the actual real time word count bubble on the side. All I see is "s in document". I have to resize my window just to catch a quick view of it. The milestone counts every 500 words are visible, but the real time bubble won't stay on the page. I've even tried multiple views and modes in Google Docs and even tried taking my rulers off and everything, but nothing works. Not very good. | |

While it does help give me a general idea of the word range I'm around, it's not accurate. On a blank screen it shows "2 words on document". | |

Completely inaccurate word count. When hitting CTRL+SHIFT+C, Google shows that, in my current document, I have 31,624 words. This extension, however, says 12,335 words. The counter is missing over half of the words! | |

I like how simple it is but I hated how inaccurate the word counter is. I am removing this extension. Why even bother having a word counter when it is not counting properly? Unless this extension become more accurate and actually counts the word, I will not be using this. |
